Aston Villa and Fulham ‘want to sign’ player in January – Offers would be €15-20m

Barcelona are already looking towards future transfer windows, having already got bored of some of their acquisitions from the summer market.

One of those is Franck Kessie who arrived from AC Milan as a free agent. There was much fanfare about the deal, with the Catalan media insisting Barca had beaten some big Premier League clubs to the midfielder.

So far this season, Kessie has had around 500 minutes of action and there’s already talk about him being replaced in the squad. Rather than being linked with clubs towards the top of the Premier League, Fichajes push forward Aston Villa and Fulham.

The player is said to be unhappy at the Camp Nou and could bring in a reasonable fee for them in January. According to the report, Aston Villa and Fulham ‘want to sign’ him in the winter market.

Aston Villa’s offer could reach €15m, whereas Fulham could be prepared to go to €20m.

Information is thin on the ground right now, but it’s certainly a situation to keep an eye on, with Barcelona seemingly becoming bored of this new toy rather quickly.
